Post GO diverts from STN - Shock Horror!

More skewed reporting from the Beeb (Radio 5 Live).. .. .They had a woman passenger from a flight from NCL to STN that had to divert to EMA "as one of the pilot's wasn't trained to land in bad weather" (gasps all round).. .. .The official GO report was along the lines that the weather was at CAT III limits (?) but one of the crew had not completed the 3 autolands so they were operating to CAT I limits.. .. .The passenger was asked "had she flown since" as though it was a major incident. More comments along the line "well I won't want to go on a bus with a driver who couldn't park!?". .. .How do these stories get so much prominence? I they want some real stories perhaps they should note how many people were killed today on our crumbling overcrowded road structure.
